Chapter 37: Fierce Battle and Retreat
On the fourth day after returning to the base, Li Ru stood on the inner wall of the base and looked out, only then did he really feel the scene of hell, and countless monsters could already be seen in the distance surging towards the base, like a black tide, giving people a sense of oppression that black clouds were about to destroy the city.
The monsters rushing here can't talk about speed at all, but the number of monsters that makes people's scalps tingle, is it really possible to stop the army of monsters that are surging like a tide? Li Ru had already anticipated such a large-scale attack, and originally thought that he was ready, but it was another thing to really see it with his own eyes, and the involuntary trembling from his thighs showed that he was afraid to death now, but he didn't have time to be afraid, he had to fight, and he had something to do.
In less than an hour, the tide of corpses was already approaching the base, but fortunately, the countless traps they dug had a good effect, and the monsters fell into the pits one by one, and the number of monsters that could really get close to the base was not much, but it was not a number that could be taken lightly.
The big ass put the machine gun aside, and squeezed the trigger tightly, and a long string of tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle, shaking his strong muscles violently, and the long magazine quickly retracted into the chamber.
Li Ru was arranged to be his assistant, and while he was stopping, he grabbed the handle on the barrel of the machine gun, removed the hot barrel as quickly as possible, threw it aside to cool it naturally, and then pulled out a new barrel from the trunk and replaced it for him.
Li Ru felt that the blood in his whole body was about to be ignited, and the gunshots in his ears never stopped, and the ringing in his ears came and went.
The bullets from the various firing points set up in advance at the base intersect into a barrage, but no matter where they hit, the bullets will hardly miss! Because there are so many monsters.
At this time, the shells of countless rifles kept opening and closing, and the hot and hot bullet casings jumped out of the chamber in strings, as if a cruel symphony was being staged.
Countless bullets have penetrated countless monsters, Li Ru has already changed seven barrels, * I don't know how many have been replaced, but I haven't seen the number of monsters decrease, one after another, which makes people desperate.
Fortunately, they held out until the night, and the monsters basically stopped attacking, and the people at the base had a chance to breathe.
Li Ru leaned back in the trench and squinted, the others were also resting not far away, a day's fierce battle for the consumption of physical strength and energy is quite huge, at the beginning due to the trap reason, the defense was quite easy, but the trap is limited after all, only half a day, in the face of millions of monsters, almost all the traps were filled with corpses, and the vicious battle began.
The base has plenty of ammunition, but the soldiers are not machines after all, and if it weren't for the inconvenience of the monsters at night, maybe on the first day of the war, the base would have come to an end.
On the first day alone, some of the firepower points were lost, and although they were finally recaptured, casualties were inevitable, Li Ru didn't know how many people were sacrificed today, he only knew that there would only be more tomorrow.
No one communicated anymore, just quietly waiting for the dawn in the night.
……
……
The sky just brightened, and the monsters' attack began, like a mad dog's attack, there was no reason at all, fortunately in misfortune, Li Ru found that what was unexpected was that piles of monster corpses had become an obstacle to their attack, the balance of the original monsters was not good, and it was easier for them to step on the corpses of their companions to move forward, so some funny scenes appeared, on the one hand, there was a fierce battle, the army with full firepower, on the other hand, it was a group of monsters who stumbled and fell after just two steps, but no one could laugh, The basic situation on the battlefield is still not optimistic, even if the monsters are stupid and stupid, but the overwhelming numerical superiority is absolute, and it is only hard to support it if they can hold it now, and it is impossible for other military regions to have spare strength to support them from a long distance now, and this time it is really a battle against the water.
When night fell again, Li Ru found that there seemed to be fewer people around him, big ass, monkeys, helpers, blind people were still there, what about the others? Li Ru sat silently with his head down, without asking, is there still a need to ask at this time? Didn't even notice when the war started, it turned out that so many people had been sacrificed, who was next? Maybe it's me, thinking of Li Wei, it seems that I may be about to miss the appointment!
"Attention units, attention to all units, I am the supreme commander of the military region, and there will be important decisions to announce next." Li Ru was still resting in the trench in despair, when the sound of radio suddenly came from his ears.
"All combatants immediately and voluntarily retreat, attention, all combatants immediately retreat autonomously!"
Supreme Commander? He hadn't seen it for so long, Li Ru was confused by this sudden announcement, did this retreat mean giving up?
"Finally, as the supreme commander, I give one last order!" Immediately afterward, he continued on the radio.
Li Ru's spirits were lifted and he listened to this last order.
"Everyone! Give me a good life! ”
It seems that the possibility of stubborn defense has been lost, otherwise such an order would not have been issued suddenly.
But a soldier is still a soldier, Li Ru and the rest of his teammates all looked at Qiao Feng, he was now the supreme commander.
Qiao Feng looked at everyone, there were only five of them left in the original team of twelve people, considering the current situation, he made a decision.
"Everyone breaks through alone!" In line with the idea of being able to run one by one, they are already surrounded by monsters, no matter what they do together, the movement is not small, if one person takes advantage of the night, maybe he can really run out a few, so Qiao Feng gave the final order.
Li Ru and a few comrades-in-arms made a final hug.
See you in the next life!
……
……
Even if they were ordered to retreat on their own, the soldiers were still soldiers, and there was no panic and scattering, and many people calmly packed their things and planned their escape routes.
Li Ru said goodbye to his comrades-in-arms and immediately rushed to the place agreed with Li Wei, he believed that she should be waiting for him there.
……
"Li Ru, I'm here!"
Li Wei beckoned to him, the light was not good at night, and he couldn't see clearly, but the sound would not be wrong.
"Are you ready?" Li Ru stepped forward and asked.
"Well, I'll be ready after you told me that time." Li Wei shook the bag on her back and said.
Li Ru asked her to simply prepare some dry food and drinking water, a few more lighters, and not the rest, and travel as lightly as possible, because the biggest problem this time is not the problem of materials, but the problem of how to escape safely.
"Here's for you!" Li Ru handed her a hand*, this was his spare item, he didn't bring a firearm, and the current situation was that knives were more suitable for self-defense.
Li Wei took the knife, although she was a little scared in her heart, but following him, at least she wouldn't be lonely on the Huangquan Road.
"Shall we go now?" Li Ru's plan is only a rough idea, so Li Wei is not sure when to set off and how to act.
"No, just wait!" Li Ru left the base with Li Wei, although there were monsters all around, but the side close to the base's defense line was still safe, Li Ru planned to stay around here for a while, and wait for the temperature to be the lowest at night before acting, after all, he had studied monsters before.
Li Ru and Li Wei found a concave corner and waited, the temperature was low at night, coupled with the outdoor night breeze, even if they were wearing coats, they could only hug each other for warmth, and the moment they hugged each other, they emitted a faint light in the dark, like fireflies that can only be found in the night. Everything goes on, everything will be fine, it seems that it is the beginning again, he remembers their encounter.
